Ocean dynamics: frontal activity

Participant: H. Yahia.

A highresolution (1km spatial and daily temporal resolutions) dataset of 11 years (2003 to 2013) remotely sensed SST by MODIS sensor onboard Aqua and Terra satellites has been investigated and compared with coastal numerical model experiments. The detection and characterization fronts with fluctuating amplitudes is achieved through the Singularity Analysis (i.e. the process of calculating the degree of regularity or irregularity of a function at each point in a domain).
